    Cottage cheese + sour cream + brown sugar (or honey), raisins/nuts/fruit are optional.
    If I make cottage cheese myself I add just a little brown sugar without anything else.

    Also, salted cottage cheese grains are great, I do not add anything there.

    I like to leave it on the supermarket shelf and buy something else instead.

    I cut up a Granny Smith apple and mix the pieces with cottage cheese and I eat it with Thai Garlic Chili Paste to kick it up a bit. It's good to eat at night because of the Casein protein.

    I like to mix a little strawberry or raspberry jam into it. Yum.

    I love it with beetroot and salad (as opposed to using cheddar or some other stinky cheese (I HATE all cheese except Cottage Cheese)).

    Sometimes I have a tablespoon of it on a Dark Rye Rivita and a slice or two of cucumber to top it as a snack. Yum!

    Haha, I done this for years... But once I tried it, I can't walk past it in the supermarket without buying it :P

    I use it with hard boiled eggs, or egg whites to make egg salad instead of using mayo

    I eat it with chopped apples or grapes and crushed almonds. Its the perfect combo of protein, good fats, and complex carbs :)

    Sometimes I eat it with hot sauce or add it to pastas

    My absolute favorite breakfast is LivActive cottage cheese by Breakstone...I need help in the bathroom department:laugh: . Then I add a slice of diced apple, a couple of chunks of melon, a strawberry or two...actually whatever fruit I have available at the moment, but my favorites are apples, pears, melons, and strawberries or blueberries. You don't need much of any of them. I chop everything up into small pieces. They create a lot of crunch and volume...looks like a lot and Lord knows I don't want to see a big bowl with nothing in it. I add cinnamon ... to control sugar levels and add flavor, and if it isn't sweet enough for you...add a Splenda. Mix it all up and yummy. Best part...it keeps me satisfied for a long time.

    Also, anywhere you use ricotta cheese, you can substitute cottage cheese. Hope it helps. I'm not much of a cook, but I know what I like. Good luck. Ooop! I forgot the teaspoon of chopped walnuts...love the crunch and it has Omega 3's to boot.

    I just love it with Dole frozen cherries on top (thawed briefly in the microwave) and 1/2 tsp. of agave nectar or honey.
